Hello! I am a mum of 6 year old boy/girl twins and we are moving from Ottawa, Canada to England for 2 years! Our move date is August, and I'm looking for a place to live, AND school for our kids. In Canada, you automatically get into the local school if you live in the area. Obviously I had a shock when I started looking into schools in the UK. We have narrowed down a location, we love the look of Hadley Wood, and we saw a house in Cuffley which looks nice too. Does anyone from the area have any suggestions??? We might even consider paying for Dwight for the school. Also, this is all done by Google Maps.... these areas look lovely on the maps, and leafy and lots of space. I'm also wondering about main streets, and if there are nice stores/pubs to wander to.
